Saint Paul Lemon Law Attorneys Protecting Drivers from Defective Cars

The Saint Paul Lemon Law was created to protect Minnesota drivers from faulty cars that fail to meet expected standards of quality. If your new or leased vehicle keeps having problems that affect its safety, performance, or value, you may be eligible for:

• A replacement vehicle of equal value
• A full refund including taxes, title, and registration fees
• A cash settlement for diminished vehicle value
• Attorney’s fees covered by the manufacturer if your claim succeeds

You pay nothing upfront — ever.

Saint Paul Lemon Law applies to:

• New or leased vehicles for personal, household, or family use
• Cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and motorcycles
• Claims made within 2 years of delivery or during the manufacturer’s warranty period (Minnesota-specific rule)
• Vehicles with the same defect repaired 4 or more times or out of service for 30+ cumulative days
• Some small business vehicles under state weight limits

Not Covered: As-is used vehicles, off-road vehicles, or heavily modified vehicles.

You may qualify if:

• The defect affects your vehicle’s safety, usability, or resale value
• The issue has been repaired 4 or more times
• The car has been out of service for 30+ cumulative days
• The problem occurred within 2 years of delivery or warranty coverage

Not sure if you qualify? We’ll review your repair history at no cost.

Frequent issues that may qualify your car as a lemon include:

• Engine failure, stalling, or loss of power
• Transmission slipping, jerking, or rough shifting
• Steering or brake malfunctions
• Electrical system problems (dashboard lights, battery, wiring)
• Heating or air conditioning breakdowns
• Persistent fluid leaks (oil, coolant, or fuel)

If these issues continue after several repair attempts, your vehicle may qualify under Minnesota Lemon Law.

Minnesota Lemon Law mainly covers new vehicles, but some used cars may qualify if:

• The manufacturer’s original warranty is still active
• The defect appeared within 2 years or during warranty coverage
• The manufacturer had an opportunity to fix the problem but didn’t
